Question: Can I contest a parking fine?

Yes you can. If you believe you have received a parking fine wrongfully then it is in your rights to challenge it. You would begin by contacting your relevant state traffic authority, explaining the circumstances of the fine and why you believe you are not in the wrong. If this fails you are entitled to go to court to challenge the fine, however, going to court is costly and the amount being contested should be proportional to the costs of going to court. Think carefully before you pursue this option, you might end up paying more in legal fees and court costs than the parking fine itself!
